Micmacs is the latest film from the fantastical mind of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
But can it recapture the magic of his earlier work?
The widow slowly goes mad while the soldiers son is confined to an orphanage run by sadistic nuns.
This leaves him with a bullet lodged so close to his brain that a doctor refuses to operate.
Unknown to our loveable outcast, however, he is being watched by another homeless person of unique skill.
The rest of the film can be summed up with the line The WomblesdoOceans Eleven.
In my opinion,Micmacsis up there with his other classicsAmelie,DelicatessenandTheCity Of Lost Children.
While not the most fantastic of transfers, the film still looks superb.
The only thing missing, however, is a selection of extras.
